Random Building Thoughts - 2021-01-16

 

 

-------------- HUMOR 1 --------------

 

I received this from a dearly respected and insightful Brother:
 
A Grand Lodge Officer visited one of the Lodges in his District and was somewhat put off to find that the total number of Brethren in attendance that night was only ten.
 
At the end of the meeting, he was given opportunity to speak to the Lodge and as he did, he expressed his feelings regarding the small number in attendance.
 
"It really was a very poor turn-out for your monthly meeting tonight my Brothers. You barely had enough to open the Lodge", he said with his face showing great disapproval.
 
He then asked, "Were the Brethren formally notified that I was coming?"
 
"No", quickly responded the Worshipful Master adding, "but I guess the news must have leaked out anyway."

-------------- HUMOR 2 --------------

 

-------------- THE POINT --------------

-------------- MYTH --------------

“You can’t predict what a myth is going to be any more than you can predict what you’re going to dream tonight. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from realizations of some kind that have then to find expression in symbolic form. And the only myth that is going to be worth thinking about in the immediate future is one that is talking about the planet, not the city, not these people, but the planet, and everybody on it. That’s my main thought for what the future myth is going to be.
 
"And what it will have to deal with will be exactly what all myths have dealt with—the maturation of the individual, from dependency through adulthood, through maturity, and then to the exit; and then how to relate to this society and how to relate this society to the world of nature and the cosmos. That’s what the myths have all talked about, and what this one’s got to talk about. But the society that it’s got to talk about is the society of the planet. And until that gets going, you don’t have anything.”
-- Joseph Campbell & The Power of Myth, with Bill Moyers"

-------------- TRINITY 101--------------

 
 1) Believe not that you are a Physical Being having a Spiritual Experience!
 2) Believe not that you are a Spiritual Being having a Physical Experience!
 3) Know deeply that you are both a Physical and Spiritual Being having a uniquely Human Experience.
 4) How you choose to view this Trinity Experience is both your blessing and your curse!
 5) Believing items 1) or 2) will not negate your uniquely Human Experience.
 6) Believing items 1) or 2) will misdirect your uniquely Human Experience.
 7) Believing items 1) or 2) will dull the clarity of your uniquely Human Experience.
 8) Your uniquely Human Experience and all that unfolds from this Experience is your Soul.
 9) What you do with your uniquely Human Experience is your God Given Choice.
10) Choose well!
